The last remaining survivor of the sinking of the Titanic has died in an English nursing home at the age of 97.
Millvina Dean was two months old when the Titanic, on its maiden voyage from England, sank after hitting an iceberg on April 15, 1912.
She was the ship's youngest passenger. As the Titanic sank she was placed in a sack and carried to safety.
Her mother and brother also survived, but her father was among the 1,500 passengers and crew who died.

I just saw a piece on this on the ABC News, it said Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio both chipped in some money to help this lady...

I saw this same piece. I applauded when I heard that the Titanic stars helped the poor old lady out. Hollywood takes a beating, most of the time, do to its perceived politics and this is definitely a very positive kudo.
 
Wow that's impressive living that long.
